“I can’t even imagine him daring to run,” he said. “He became a joke, and I don’t think the joke will wear off. Talented or not, I can’t imagine people taking him seriously.”

Numerous people on 82nd Street and 2nd Avenue told Schuck that what happened to Weiner is too bad, because they probably would have voted for him for mayor if it weren’t for his scandal.

“It is creepy,” Matthew Goldstein of the Upper East Side added. “Not as creepy as [Eliot] Spitzer, but it’s an eight [on the creep scale]. Spitzer was maybe a nine.”

If these opinions are any indication, maybe the former Congressman shouldn’t start printing those “Weiner For Mayor” bumper stickers quite yet.

Weiner resigned in disgrace in June of 2011 after lewd pictures he sent to at least six women surfaced. Weiner initially denied sending a salacious photo over Twitter, saying that his account had been hacked. He then modified his story, calling it a prank. In short order, though, the true scope of the situation became clear.
